HEM keeps reimporting all my hands

[joelmate]

Hi,
I just imported 1mil hands from a folder on my desktop. i left it for a few hours until it finished. now when i reopen hem and start importing my current session, it starts importing all the hands i just imported earlier and of course they are all duplicates. i have looked at all the folders and made sure its not importing from the folder on my desktop.
any reason as to why this is happening?
thanks for the help, sorry if this is really obvious and dumb

just let HEM import all the hands again, it finished and restarted doing it for a 3rd time...

It sounds like you added the folder to your auto import list instead of manually importing, or you have created an archive/import folder loop. Auto Import is for live play only so you can see the HUD. Import From Folder/File is for bulk imports.

Move the files in the handhistory folder to your \hmarchive folder and import them via import file or import from folder.

Try a new session with auto-import. A new handhistory file should be generated.

Your \HMArchive is likely not in your \Holdem Manager directory. We normally suggest you use C:\HMArchive, but you may have put it anywhere.

To verify the location: Options > Configure Auto Import Folders > Edit > Archive Folder: ___________________

The archive should be organized by \Month\DayOfMonth (example: D:\HMArchive\2009\07\31).

thanks for the reply.
what files should i move though? i moved the 1mil HH folder into the archive folder and it seems to be still importing them all again

If you continue to have issues, attach your holdemmanager.config file from C:\Program Files(x86)\RVG Software\Holdem Manager\Config.

- If your extensions are off you'll just see a file called holdemmanager.
- To attach it to a thread in the forums, look below the post reply button when you start a new thread and you'll see a manage attachments button.
- Click this and attach the file.
